With Crystal, Beecons Yoga & Reiki
Reiki II is the next step on your healing journey—an expansion, a deepening, and a powerful activation of your intuitive gifts. This level opens the door to working with Reiki in a more intentional, refined, and energetically potent way. If Reiki I awakened your connection, Reiki II amplifies it.
In this immersive training we will explore:
🜁 The Sacred Reiki Symbols — learning how to use them for energy clearing, emotional healing, and long-distance Reiki.
🜂 Energetic Shielding & Protection — tools to keep your field strong, grounded, and sovereign.
🜃 Reiki Meditations — to deepen intuition, strengthen your channel, and anchor your inner stillness.
🜄 Chakra Understanding & Application — working with the chakras through the Reiki lens for more precise, soul-supportive sessions.
Reiki II invites you to step further into your role as a practitioner—one who listens deeply, trusts their intuition, and works with energy in a way that is both grounded and sacred. This level strengthens your ability to support others while continuing to nourish your own growth and healing.
If you feel ready to expand your practice and open to the next layer of Reiki’s wisdom, I invite you to join me for Reiki II on January 14th from 10:00am–4:00pm.
Your growth, your gifts, your path—this is your permission to step forward.

Free Artist Demo!

Join us for a fun and informative demo with Jodi as she walks you through the magical process of Gouache Resist. This technique begins with staining the paper using watercolor or gouache, then applying gouache as a mask before covering the entire surface with India ink. Once the ink fully dries, it’s washed away—lifting the gouache and revealing a beautifully textured image reminiscent of a well-loved woodcut print.
Jodi will share why she loves this technique: the element of surprise when the print is revealed, and the fact that these pieces come together in just a couple of days. You’ll leave inspired to try Gouache Resist in your own work!
Date: Sunday January 11th
Time: 1pm-2pm

ERIK KOSKINEN
He’s a lights-out guitar (player) and his band is as good as any band in the country. But he’s also a top-shelf writer, with a blade-sharp wit and love songs so real and tender they seem to transcend the form. I know of few writers whose relationship to their own landscape, in this case the rural north, is so elemental, and so integral. His songs feel like weather.
People know him in Minnesota, where most bar bands seem to cover at least one of his songs, but otherwise he’s still one of the best kept secrets in the country. He sings about an America that doesn’t get much play anymore, the one where the people at the bottom can’t quite get ahead, and where working people aren’t cartoon props in a culture war, but shrewd human beings living hard lives, and hard loves. His songs have the diamond-hard clarity and simplicity of Tom Petty, and like Petty, Koskinen can sing a literal statement without metaphor or ornament, and make it move like poetry. The spiritual hunger in rock ‘n’ roll that came from blues and gospel is still a hunger in these songs, and if you listen hard, you can hear that lean coyote voice – wary, feral, full of fierce delight – lighting up the wee hours from somewhere out on the prairie.
-Jeffrey Foucault
FORREST VANTUYL
Forrest VanTuyl is a songwriter, touring musician, and working cowboy from rural Washington State. His unique approach to songwriting is one equally indebted to the transcendental spareness of Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball as to his own experiences working with cattle and horses in the prairie and canyon country of Oregon and Washington. VanTuyl has worked as a backing musician and collaborator with critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Margo Cilker, become a regular fixture at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, shared stages with Sera Cahoone, Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, and Corb Lund, and been featured by The New York Times, National Geographic, NPR, and KEXP. VanTuyl’s newest album Old Trails, released in September 2025 on Fossil Records, is peopled with characters just as concerned with the minutiae of feed trucks and fenceposts as with the enormity of their loves and longings. By overstuffing his songs with closely observed details of a modern-day cowboy’s work and life, VanTuyl is consistently able to find the beating heart at the center of his deromanticized American West.

This can be anything from paper, paints, brushes, beads, pencils etc. We will spread out the supplies on tables and people will be able to freely take what they’d like. This is meant to be a way for community members to redistribute art supplies to one another, so if you don’t have supplies to bring that isn’t a problem feel free to come and see if there’s supplies you could use.
We will also have a station set up to create small spiral bound books out of unbound papers, so if you have odds and ends of papers laying around that could be cut down and made into a small sketchbook feel free to bring that as well.
